Secretary Bayard said in Washington. in
reference to the reported release of the Brit
ish and American sealing vessels seized in
Alaskan waters: There has been to my
knowledge no order issued by the President
for the release of any of the vessels seized
this year, simply because we have no knowl-
edge of the circumstances under which the
vessels were seized, and we only know that
they are in the hands of the court, and,
therefore, will be dealt with according to
law. There were three cases last year in
which the President saw fit to order the re-
lease of three vessels seized in August, 1886,
but those are the only cases know of in
which vessels were ordered released. That
occurred last year and the facts were made
public at the time"
